$UST is designed to withstand shocks, that's what an algorithmic stablecoin does
compare if $UST goes to $0.90 or $1.1 vs $USDT - the peg bends in one and breaks in the other.
I blame TFL for creating the wrong expectation with prior posts implying instantaneous peg stability
1/ To help others understand the $UST arbitrage and why the peg doesn't come back straight away...
There are some parameters that determine the spread when minting and burning $UST / $LUNA. The more mint/burn happens in a day, the higher the spread.

After @Remi_Tetot stated that he got tired of the same old $UST death spiral threadooors, the threadooors started a "new" FUD.
-> What happens if $UST 's market cap is higher than $LUNA 's?

5/12 But what happens if $LUNA's market cap drops below $UST's market cap? Well, there will initially be a lot of FUD (fear uncertainty doubt) on how $UST is undercollateralized.
But this is important!
$UST is not backed by $LUNA, but rather, the demand of $LUNA.
